The Rite Aid pharmacy is right near my house and so I frequently go there if I need to have a prescription filled. Because this doesn't happen very often, I hadn't stopped to realize that maybe the prices weren't competitive.
I made some calls around town and found this Rite Aid has SIGNFICANTLY higher prices on their prescription drugs than other locally-owned drug stores in the area. These price differences were significant enough that I doubt I will be using Rite Aid for my prescriptions.
That being said, their staff was very helpful in assisting me with a "glitch" with my insurance and reimbursing me when I had paid for a prescription which actually should have been covered.
